Very exciting to design the largest mobile weapon in DOOM's history : The Atlan Chain Gun!
Originally I had envisioned this as a large mobile turret or construction equipment hybrid before we solidified the design into a bespoke weapon for an Atlan to carry. This idea was very fun and we were able to lock it in early in the design process.
At one point, and just so you know he's still in there, I set up the narrative that we had a Sentinel Engineer who had just started his
new job as Chain Gun maintenance supervisor in training who operates inside the Chaingun while you use it (and when you throw it away...). So just know, he's hard at work while you're blasting away.
